Molly the Fire Safety Dog of Clarksville, a Dalmatian whose efforts have reached tens of thousands of children across the United States and throughout the world with her message of fire safety, is headed to New York City to share fire safety at the Paws for Style charity event May 13 to benefit the Humane Society of New York.

Firefighter Dayna Hilton, fire safety educator and handler of Molly, said Molly will be in uniform to walk the runway, will have fire safety messages included in her attire and will carry a smoke alarm on the red carpet alongside celebrity dog walkers such as Hayden Paniettiere, Tina Fey, Carson Kressley, Paula Abdul and Hilary Swank in front of cameras from media outlets such as Access Hollywood, Today Show, People Magazine and CNN. In addition, the two will carry the names of firefighters from donors who wanted to honor past, current and future firefighters.

Molly, who leaves with Hilton May 10 for New York, is accepting donations to help fund the trip; to donate, visit www.keepkidsfiresafe.org/supporters information.
